Voyager wings shortened by takeoff mishap over Pacific
The experimental Voyager aircraft lost up to three feet from its 111 foot wingspan during takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base. Burt Rutan said more wing loss is likely as the one tank of fuel flight heads toward Australia. Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan report the craft remains in good spirits despite damage.
